SAID principle
Specific Adaption to Imposed Demand
Backing up the car
60-70° of cervical rotation
Looking up at the ceiling
40-50° of cervical extension
Moving from sit to stand
Need 35° of lumbar flexion
Picking up object from floor
at least 60° of lumbar flexion
Measuring AROM Steps
Determine type of measurement/device
Explain to patient
Position patient
Have patient move actively
Palpate bony landmarks
Align measurement device
Move goni through movement
Cervical flexion/extension AROM goni
Axis – auditory meatus
Stationary arm–perpendicular to floor
Moving arm–in line with base of nares
Cervical flexion/extension AROM inclinometer
vertex of the skull
Cervical lateral flexion AROM
Axis–spinous process C7
Stationary Arm–perpendicular to floor
Moving Arm–posterior midline of skull/occipital protuberance
Cervical lateral flexion AROM inclinometer
vertex of skull
Cervical Rotation AROM
Axis–vertex of skull
Stationary –line btwn 2 acromion processes
Moving–midline of nose
Cervical Rotation AROM inclinometer
in-between eyebrows
RED numbers for reading
Lumbar Flexion AROM
Axis: mid-axillary @ lowest rib
Stationary: perpendicular to floor
Moving arm: mid-axillary line
Lumbar Flexion AROM inclinometer
vertical on SP, 15 cm superior from PSIS line
